It takes a big man to apologize

Hishamuddin s statement of regret would have been more meaningful if there were no elements of ambivalence in it

For the record the minister said he apologised to the non malays because of the fear to a symbol that his actions had created, and to the malays for not being able to uphold their symbol of heritage.

The apology, despite its qualification,is still commendable because humility is generally a vastly under rated virtue amongst our politicians.
